Family:Caleb Arnold and Abigail Bailey (1)

You may find information about Bailey/Bowley Arnold being the son of Caleb Arnold and Abigail Bailey. Particularly the History and Geneology of Stukely Westcott. You can safely ignore this information as the information contained in there would indicate the Bowley was born in 1737, which would make him 11 years old when his first child was born. Bowley and his wife Eunice Griggs Arnold had 8 children, the first, Eunice, born in Roxbury, MA in 1748.
